SHOUT Serving Him - One, United, Together
SHOUT-Houston is a training institute that exists to equip, encourage, refresh and release Next Generation Emerging Leaders.
We are a Cross-Cultural organization designed to connect
like-minded individuals throughout The Greater Houston Area who share a similar passion to reach and impact today's young people.
Recent statistics reveal that an Urban Youth Specialist tenure in Urban centers is six months and for Surburban Youth Specialist two years. These stastics though staggering and dismal must be increased to ensure the positive development of young people.
SHOUT-Houston's goal is to reverse this negative trend by providing relevant training designed to reduce the failures of youth leaders. We invite you to partner with us as we equip and train Next Generation Leaders.
If you are called to serve Youth and desire to go to the next level contact us via email or phone.
We look forward to Serving Houston together!

This family of active believers in 1995 organized and developed a national, faith-based leadership initiative designed to impact the lives of disadvantaged urban youth called the
DeVos Urban Leadership Initiative (DVULI). www.devosurbanleadership.org
Since 2003, DVULI's investment has equipped and trained twenty urban specialist within the Greater Houston Area with breakthrough skills that have built a firm foundation for leaders and a proven plan to carry into the future.
